With notes of Lucy Dacus, Soccer Mommyand Great Grandpa,and recurring riffs reminiscent of Mazzy Star,it would be unfair to compare Dad Bodto just one of these artists. Marino’s songwriting is stellar, and in “Spirits” she plays to the deep-seated loneliness we feel when we find ourselves emotionally isolated while longing for intimacy. Marino’s voice soon sails sweetly over the taut instrumental track that has been laid out. As good things often do, it all starts with a snare and kick-drum, before the first electric guitar is counted in, dreamy and echoing, and then the second, crisp and sunny. Written from the perspective of a “ghost looking for a flesh experience,” their latest single “Spirits” is one that will bring you to your knees. Fronted by singer-songwriter and guitarist Callie Marino, the band also includes Alex Gray on drums, Noah Topliff and Wilson Zellar on guitar and Michael McGough on bass. Our third Quadio pick of the week is Dad Bod. The group got their start just last year at the University of Minnesota and has quickly become one of the most promising indie rock bands out of the Twin Cities. The duo is continuing to put out a song off the project every two weeks and is currently building a soundtrack to ease our minds during this isolating time. There is a simplicity in the pop melody that rests over flickering keys and hollow drums, which seems to insist that small moments still be treasured, even if they’re not the grand production you once imagined they would be. A party of one is nevertheless still a party, and this tune builds to a chorus that leaves you no choice but to dance around your room alone. Lockdown is the last place anyone wants to spend a birthday, graduation or any sort of celebration for that matter, but we can’t bypass those moments all together. “Keep On Dancing” is an ode to finding joy in the moments alone. This project takes Josephine and Anthony back to their roots of recording, producing and mixing everything from their home studio. Oh Wonderhas just released the second track from their quarantine music project, The Home Tapes. “La La” is a chilled-out bop, and we’re so thankful to Quadio, the new college student-driven streaming service, for introducing us to such a promising artist that will likely be on our radar for years to come. All of this combined with her drowned-out yet crisp, twirling production and surprising compositional choices make for an infectious tune. Laney succeeds in combining the rich inner monologue that she carefully dissects within the four walls of her childhood bedroom and recording space with the overwhelming dynamics of the outside world. “La La” hits your ears in the same way: it feels effortless yet purposeful.

As the track progresses, you look around and realize that, even though this uncharted beach is desolate and wild, you can’t help but feel a deep sense of comfort and security. Our final Quadio song of the week is “La La” by Florida-based, up-and-coming indie darling Laney Tripp.With drowsy, meditative sounds and smooth, balmy vocals, Tripp takes you on a walk along a breezy seashore.
